Cymmer Independent Chapel (also known as Hen Capel Y Cymmer)

2-storey stone-built chapel with slate roof and stone end chimney stacks. The 4-window rubble main front with quoins is of traditional design, parallel to the road and with entrances either side of central windows, in contrast to the gable-fronted chapels that became standard from the mid C19 onwards. Round-headed windows (now boarded up) with dressed stone voussoirs and sills; the tall central windows flank the pulpit internally and the higher-set outer windows light the gallery; old photographs show that the windows had simple, square-pane glazing. Square-headed 9-panel doors with dressed stone lintels. Central stone date plaque at gallery level inscribed: 'Cymmer a Adeiladwyd ar y Flwyddyn 1743 ac a ail Adeiladwyd ar y Flwyddyn 1834'. 1-window gable ends, cement-rendered to right with horned sash window and brick dressings to left. Stone voussoirs to rear with further horned sash windows.

Simple rectangular interior has three-sided raked gallery with panelled fronts and chamfered timber piers. No lobby to front but separate door up to gallery. Between the main front windows is the pulpit behind which is an open-pedimented timber board with fluted pilasters; the platform has balustraded handrails. C19 pews with hinged backs.
